SCLC - Hospice time
Update. My mother passed away today, just 10 days after deciding to transition to hospice. We will miss her beyond measure, but are grateful for no more suffering.
My mother (73F) was diagnosed with extensive SCLC in May, treated with chemo/immuno for 3 months and unfortunately has had rapid progression with new spread to the brain. She has opted for hospice and we began that this week. She is at peace, but as a caregiver I am curious for anyone who’s been through SCLC with loved ones, how long did they last on hospice?
I know everyone is different and it’s based on the patient, I am just looking for your experiences.
